The groom's official king was proud of the spring breeze, and his cooking skills pleased Renzong, and Lord Bao Zheng said: "The side is deeply hidden, I didn't know that there was such a skill next to the king." ”

Wang Anshi pondered the aroma of vegetables between his lips and teeth, and said: "Don't say that you don't know, my father doesn't know, he has been away for more than a year, and he should have met a master for guidance." ”

Wang said to several adults: "I deliberately ** a few more chefs, and I will send one to each family to manage the meal." ”

Master Bao Zheng nodded: "Count your kid as having a heart." ”

Out of this Tianzi No. 1 room, toast from room to room, and when I arrived at the No. 8 room, I was already hearty, and it was the brothers who were close to Wang Bian on weekdays, Zhong Zhen, Yuan Ze, He Libo, Li Gefei, Shen Kuo, Fan Chun, Su Shi, Su Zhe and others. These people are about the same age, and they are just teenagers.

When the king arrived, he began to be laughed: "If there is no wedding banquet, it would be good, but it seems that there is one section missing." "I don't know who said that.

The king was strange, his own was thoughtful everywhere, how could there be omissions, so someone said: "After worshipping the high hall, don't you want to enter the cave room?" There are no holes here? The crowd laughed

Shen Kuo laughed: "I remember a sentence in the poem: The family must hold a new fire and light a lonely lamp to illuminate the cave room. Do you say that this poem should be changed if there is no one? ”

Wang Bei laughed and responded: "The family cooks on the charcoal fire, and the splendid rivers and mountains are all cave houses." ”

When everyone saw him laughing like this, it was even more lively, and Su Shi wrote a poem: "** A moment is worth a thousand gold, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy, the sound of the pavilion is thin, and the night of the Qianqiu courtyard is heavy." ”

Seeing Su Shi so improvised, the brothers even chanted poems and gave wine orders, and drinking and laughing were even more enjoyable.

Zhong Zhen said: "If there is always something new, and if there is something fun, call a few of our little brothers." ”

The king said, "Okay, I have a strange idea, and I should discuss it with a few people who will come to the house another day." ”

The banquet dispersed, and everyone was still unsatisfied, with Cui Fu taking care of the original Renhe Building, the current Jinxiu Building, and the king and the family of the house returned to Meyer's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, someone reported that the princess of Goryeo sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. When He Libo heard this, he immediately went out to chase the person who gave the gift, and the king naturally thought of it, but it didn't matter if he was a real princess or the girl Li Enxi was joking. There is something even more important today. That's the candle in the cave.

I was overjoyed, walked into the house quickly, pushed open the door and saw the moon sitting at the head of the bed, it was Guixiang sitting on the edge of the bed with her sleeves in her hands, lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes as a newcomer.

The candlelight reflects the red and delicate face, and the idle flowers are lightly fragrant and condensed with jade.

Even if the beautiful words of ancient and modern times are used, they can't describe the mood of the king at the moment, and they just can't wait to take the coquettish person into their arms. That's exactly what it is: when the jade body is tossing and turning, the shameful killing brocade is matched by the mandarin duck.

On the wedding night, when the cave was in the house, 5,000 words were omitted

After the wedding banquet next to the king, the people in Bianjing knew that the imperial gift of "Splendid Building" was dedicated to the coal cooking of Jinxiang Mansion, and the dishes made were unique, and even Emperor Renzong was full of praise. The supply of coal in Jinxiang Mansion is in short supply, and if any restaurant also uses the coal of Jinxiang Mansion to cook, it will be worth the food.

And the business of Jinxiu Lou is not good, if the guests come a little late, they have to wait for a seat. What's more, on auspicious days, there is always a few tables to be set up for a wedding banquet and birthday banquet by someone. There are also a few boxes upstairs from Tianzi No. 2 to Tianzi No. 9. It was actually a table reservation from May to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tianzi No. 1 room never outsources the table, after all, it is the place where Emperor Renzong serves the emperor, and some people dare to sit next to the king and dare not wrap it.

No. 2 to No. 8 are the people who dream of being officials, and they have a good time; And room No. 9 often has a daughter to be married, and she went there to package a wedding banquet, trying to marry a good official.

The coal of Jincheng County has been continuously sent to the capital, and which people still use charcoal for cooking, it will be out.

The Jinxiangfu coal yard in the northwest of Bianjing City is busy. The tea farm in the southeast of Bianjing has also begun to be built. Vendors came to buy group tea, and there was loose tea left in the warehouse. Different grades of loose tea.

The king ordered a part of the loose tea to be sealed with jasmine scent. Lu Shenyan continued to purchase in Jianzhou, and Lu Shenyan asked: "All the tea shops used in this palace are in demand, but this loose tea, is there still enough to get it?"

Wang said: "Of course, this loose tea is sold and the profit is higher than those two." ”

Lu Shenyan pouted with He Libo, there are still piles of goods, and they don't let people process it, but they have to enter loose tea, but since Gongzi said it, then do it.

Wang was waiting, waiting for the little brother to get together, and waiting for Lu Shenyan to come back this time, and he was still waiting for his customized teapot and teacup to be sent to the capital. At the same time, Wang Pan chose a teahouse in Jincheng, and this time it was the same as the last time Renhe Building (now called Jinxiu Building). The whole building was covered with a cloth.

As soon as the king was covered like this, rumors spread in the capital, and the prince of Meyer Mansion had a new way to play. Now the king's gestures will be imitated. For example, when the king was in the coal yard that day, he said that this luck coal is still used to power the ship. As a result, the popular saying now is that meeting is not a greeting, but a benevolent brother is too powerful.

If the king picks up a vendor's object and examines it for a while when he leaves, someone will gather around the vendor and ask, "What did the prince just say?" ”

Another example is the newly made clothes under the moon, if the style of embroidery changes slightly, it will soon be quietly popular in Beijing. It seems that Wang Fang is the representative of fashion and the vane of the trend.

He had just covered the teahouse here, and a few little brothers came. And the king invited them to the chamber of the hall of the house of Meyer. As soon as he came in, Su Shi was stunned: "This doesn't drink, what are you doing with such a big table." ”

Wang smiled and invited a few brothers to sit down, and said, "Invite a few people to tea today." ”

Seeing everyone seated, Wang Bi unhurriedly cranked the folding fan and said: "When the younger brother went to Jianzhou a few days ago, there was a local habit of drinking tea, not to make dough cakes with fragrant medicine; Rather, it is brewed with leaf tea. This is similar to what Yuan Ze asked before, the objects in my fantasy world. I invite you to come today to taste this new way of drinking. ”

Yuan Ze Zhongzhen and the others looked at each other and smiled, and sure enough, there was a new trick next to this king. The king clapped his hands and came in to the maid, and everyone's eyes lit up, and at the same time there was a look of surprise.

I saw the maid next to the king, first served a small red clay stove, everyone was stunned, this is summer, it is not cold, and this small red clay stove is much smaller than the ordinary stove, there are one or two briquettes and a fire burning.

Look at the maid again, born slender and watery, light green gown and Confucian skirt, only fifteen or sixteen years old, very white, especially the jade finger Qianqian, made of sand mud "tea pot" (also known as Sha Cho) on the fire to boil water, the tea pot is very light, as soon as the water is opened, the small lid will automatically lift, making a burst of sound.

Everyone saw that the maid's fingertips were like raw flowers, and skillful boiling water rushed into the empty pot, which was called "warm pot", and the water of the warm pot was poured into the tea boat; Fill the tea leaves into the teapot with a teaspoon and funnel; Then the boiling water is poured into the pot, until it is full, so that the bamboo chopsticks scrape off the tea foam on the surface of the pot, and immediately pour it into the tea boat or tea brew and then flush into the boiling water. Cover the tea lid and pour boiling water to make the temperature inside and outside the pot consistent

Seeing her upside down, everyone didn't know what trick the king was doing, but they saw the king leisurely admiring it, and then the maid waited for the tea to be brewed with a pair of jade hands, and washed the teacup in the teaboat with the tea that had just been warmed and moistened—a small teacup slightly smaller than a wine cup (even the teapot itself was only the size of a fist).

When the first tea is brewed, the teapot runs along the edge of the tea boat for several weeks, as if "playing in the mountains and waters", and finally the warm and washed small tea cups are lined up in a row, and poured back and forth in turn, like "cruising the river".

The tea cup was poured slowly, and the maids offered the tea one by one, then smiled and stepped back to wait.

The king looked at the stunned crowd and smiled and gestured to please. Everyone tasted tea, and Su Zhe couldn't help but praise it: "The tea in Fujian is high in the world, and I don't know how to work hard when I lean into tea." ”

Wang smiled silently, Su Shi looked at the maid to see the tea, and also said: It has always been a good tea like a beautiful woman

Zhong Zhen asked: "Brother, it seems that he is preparing to sell tea in the teahouse like this, this is very delicate and chic." I just think that if you open your business, it must be the same as that splendid building, and it will be difficult to find one. ”

"yes." Everyone echoed Zhao Zhongzhen's words and said

Yuan Ze shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Brother Xian, I really didn't expect that this loose tea could be drunk with such effort and taste, and this tea can be drunk on the static word." If the business is hot, there will be many noisy people and the artistic conception of tea tasting will be lost regularly. ”

Wang was always smiling and silent, he looked around at almost all the famous people in the history of the Song Dynasty, and he wanted to start from this teahouse and weigh his influence.

Wang knows that the impact is not about new clothes, cooking skills, or new inventions. He said to Zaido: "What I said at the Zhongzhen banquet the previous time is that I have no point in making some new and famous halls by myself. Brothers, I don't have a little king next to you without your support. ”

Shen Kuo snorted: "Don't sell it, look at us, the officials are only five grades, and the positions are all small errands." How can I help my brother. ”

Zhong Zhen and Su Shi brothers also said: "It's not the main thing to make money or not, it's just to make a name for yourself." ”

Wang said: "Everyone, I plan to close this teahouse to the public. ”

"What?" "That's really not profitable, is it?" The brothers didn't seem to understand

Wang Bian nodded: "Not only is it not external, but you are also shareholders, you don't need to invest, how about letting everyone gain fame and fortune?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of fame Wang was doing. Wang said: "This teahouse is named Cloud Pavilion, and it only sells members for the whole year, and the annual membership fee is ten taels of silver, and there are only one hundred members at most. ”

Li Gefei didn't speak for a long time, and said: "That's only a thousand taels of income." It seems to maintain how to talk about profitability. ”

Wang said confidently: "Ten of us, each of us has three member silver medals, which can be given away, and the remaining sixty silver medals, ten of which should be reserved for the champion of Jinke High School every year." The remaining twenty were to be given to the emperor, and he was to reward and distribute them. We only have a silver medal for sale with thirty members. ”

Su Shi asked suspiciously: "If not, even if there is no need for us to contribute, this is obviously a money-losing business." ”

Wang next to him smiled: "Don't you and I want fame?" Besides, with Brother Shen Kuo here, I want to make a printing house and make some members' monthly calligraphy and painting works, and everyone will gather regularly on the 8th, 18th, and 28th of each month. I make a publication every month to introduce poetry and allusions, and we also lead the following style, what do you think? ”

"Oh, Brother Wang's idea is so good." Everyone thought it was good.

Wang said: "Slow, I think I still have a few people to support it, the name of this publication is to be determined, my father Wang Anshina, I will talk to Yuan Ze." Lord Ouyang Xiu has to bother the two brothers of the Su family. These two must be supported. Needless to say, Zhongzhen often goes in and out of the palace, so naturally the emperor's favorite grandson has no problem talking. ”

When everyone heard that the king was going to get a publication and how much silver to sell, these people were not interested, but this matter of fame and learning was all geared up and eager to try.

Seeing this, Wang said: "You just exchange poems and paintings more on weekdays, and if there are good works, I will order someone to record them, and please proofread them when they publish them. ”

Everyone praised it, and everyone went back eager to go through the box to find out the works they were satisfied with.

Shen Kuo also helped Wang to get this printing factory, built a factory to burn pottery molds, and found grinding, a total of one or two months, everything was ready; Yunxuan is about to open,

Wang Fang chose a maid with equal age, figure, and appearance qualifications, and became a female tea doctor. This time, he wants to lead the tea drinking style, and sell loose tea into a new fashion.

At this time, Lu Shenyan also came back, and brought back a smart child from Jianzhou, but just listening to the name gave Wang a headache, this child is called: Cai Jing!
